Love this but for a healthier version...

I make this everytime we have a potluck at work or for holiday gatherings, although with so many people trying to eat healthier now, just pointing out that using plain yogurt instead of mayonnaise will trim off a whopping 1300 calories.
If you adjust the amount of dressing down a bit a simple version of this without the bacon and cheese also tastes just fine. If I'm just making it to eat at home I usually leave those out unless it's meant to be a main course by itself.

Making for the first time.

The recipe calls for salad dressing or Mayo... I'm currently not allowed to eat Mayo I'm wondering it is just a plain salad dressing g what type of dressing is used?

I have made this recipe for years. I have made it with red seedless grapes in place of craisins, still very tasty. I make the dressing at 1-1/2 times the recommended amount. My family likes a little more dressing as it can tend to be a little "dry". It's just the right amount for their tastes, not too dry and not to soggy or drowning in dressing. It is a wonderful recipe and my family asks for it every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Wonderful!

Great and love it.

Don't know how anyone cannot love this. Unless you hate one of the ingredients. Combined it is fantastic. Reminds me of a,salad I used to get at a high end restaurant and still easy to make. I hold off on the cheese til a bit later. But even on day two leftover, I love it. Whoever says it's salty and not recommended, I highly disagree with.
